Is the Alie puffer warm enough for winter?

It suits mild to moderate cold and layering. For freezing days or long time outdoors, a down-filled coat will keep you warmer.

Yes, the coat has an attached hood. It adds protection in wind and light rain.

The shell and lining are polyester, and the fill is polyester too. That makes it lighter and easier to clean than down, but less insulating.

How does it compare with a down puffer?

It is slimmer and less bulky, and it handles damp city weather well. A down puffer wins on warmth for its weight.

Follow the care label; polyester puffers usually wash gently and air dry. Avoid high heat, which can damage the fill.
